What Makes Our Parties Different?
At Ragtag Arts we’re passionate about delivering creative, eco-conscious children’s parties that are just as fun as they are thoughtful. We do things a little differently and we are proud of it! All the materials used in our workshops are rescued from landfill, allowing children to craft, play, and create without waste.
As a proud No Crap Parties venue, we are committed to:
-
Supplying party bags made from 100% reclaimed materials. -
Using reusable tableware (absolutely no disposable). -
Taking real steps to reduce your party’s environmental impact.
